Unless you fly eight hours to get to the patrol area, hang around a couple, and eight back, repeating every day for a week. Peter Skelton I've done a bunch of those (and worse)... How about 22 - 24 hours at low level (100 to 500 ft) in the North Atlantic in winter with conditions so rough that you return to base with the upper front of your thighs beaten sore from smashing up against the seat belt, and most of the 18 man crew having almost constant 'gastronomic events'...steely eyed ruthless aeronautical warrior you aren't mister... -- -Gord.
